//UPDATED PROGRAM of the BHUBANESWAR CONGRESS// //you can download hear://

Saturday, 29 December 2012 (17.00 - 18.00 hours) during the 8th RLDWL Congress on "Regional & Local Sustainable Development", Bhubaneswar/India. The meeting took place at XIMB, room 404. Ca. 80 people present 1. **Opening** As unfortunately nor the president, nor the director could participate at the meeting, György Széll took over the responsibility to chair the meeting and take the minutes. 2. **Approval of the minutes of the GA 2010** The minutes were approved without changes. 3. **Reports & questions** The financial situation as transmitted by the Director, Denis Harrisson, is satisfactory with about 1,000 CDN $ remaining on the accounts. Since the last congress in Peking in June 2010 the main activity has been the publication of the proceedings as in the past with Peter Lang publisher, and the preparation of the 8th international Congress as well as the IVth European Congress. 4. **Organisational aspects**: - Membership subscriptions and fees: the situation was at the moment such, that there were no members in good standing, including all board members. - Book publications: The proceedings of the 7th RLDWL-Congress. 5. **Prospects of the network** 1. As it showed with the cancellation of the IVth European RLDWL-Congress,  planned in September 2012 in Italy, and the overlapping of many activities with the Research Committee 10 ‘Participation, Organisational Democracy & Self-management’ of the International Sociological Association (RC 10/ISA), that it does not seem to be reasonable to have a separate organisation. So, it was unanimously accepted to discontinue the RLDWL-network as an independent organisation, and to integrate it as a working group within RC 10/ISA. 6. **Forms of co-operation** - Conferences: This congress was also co-organised with the Research Committee 10 ‘Participation, Organisational Democracy & Self-management’ of the International Sociological Association. - Hans Böckler Fdt.: The Foundation supported again substantially the organisation of this congress with a grant of up to 20,000 €. Without this grant this congress probably could not have been organised at all. Great thanks therefore from all to the Foundation. - Use of web page, newsletters and mailing list: It was rarely used, so, it will be discontinued. Minutes of the RLDWL General Assembly 2012
 * Adopted Agenda**

7. **Election of a new board** The election of a new board was cancelled, as the network as an independent entity was discontinued. Anybody who is interested to organise the network as a working group within the Research Committee 10 ‘Participation, Organisational Democracy & Self-management’ of the International Sociological Association, is cordially invited to address him-/herself directly to the president of RC 10/ISA: Isabel da Costa . 8. **Future activities** Nevertheless there were three invitations for further congresses, which then should be pursued within the RC 10/ISA activities - Emmanuel Kamdem is inviting us for 2014 at the newly created Université Africaine de Développement Coopératif in Cotonou/Bénin, of which he is the President of the International Scientific Council. That would coincide with the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the IPD/Institut Panafricain de Développement. - Yunus Dauda is inviting us to Lagos/Nigeria. - and Fabio Zamberlan, transmitted by Marina Tomassini, is inviting us to Rio de Janeiro in 2013 (where we have already held the 2nd international RLDWLCongress in 2000). The topic might be ‘Education & Sustainable Development’ 9. **AOB** none.

Short report on the 8th Congress “Regional & Local Sustainable Development” of the International Network //Regional & Local Development Work & Labour// Bhubaneswar, Orissa, India, 27-30 December 2012

The congress took place at the Xavier Institute of Management Bhubaneswar with its excellent facilities. It was held in co-operation with the **Research Committee 10 ‘Participation, Organisational Democracy & Self-management’ of the International Sociological Association**, and it was sponsored by the Hans Böckler Foundation, the Centre for Youth & Social Development, the National Bank for Agriculture & Rural Development, Utkal University, the National Institute for Social Work and Social Sciences/NISWASS and the Swayam Shree Microcredit Services. The congress was highlighted by two cultural evenings, music and dance, sponsored by the Indian Council of Cultural Relations. The congress was well attended with more than 120 regular participants as well as a great number of students. In ten sessions more than 50 papers were presented, and participants came from sixteen countries and four continents. All presentations were followed by lively debates. The congress started with a pre-programme: The congress ended with a critical city tour, resp. a visit of Kornak temple – a UNESCO world heritage site – and to Poori. The main outcomes of the Congress were:
 * 1) 1. Visit of a dairy co-operative or
 * 2) 2. a seminar on the Social Economy in India with a focus on co-operatives.
 * 1) 1. Regional & Local Sustainable Development is an important issue, which demands strong participation of civil society, where especially trade unions have a large role to play;
 * 2) 2. India, the biggest democracy in the world, is facing many problems for its sustainability, namely its still strong caste system (although unconstitutional), religious beliefs, increasing social inequality, tribal cultures, weak civil society and weak trade unions, as well as the large informal sector. However, there are also great, promising advances, namely by the young generation in academia, as has been seen during this congress.
 * 3) 3. International cooperation is more than ever a need for overcoming these challenges, because ecological and sustainability are issues which concern the whole humanity.

The **International Review of Sociology** has published in its last issue 2014/1 the best contributions to the 8th Congress of the International network **Regional & Local development of Work & Labour**, held in Bhubaneswar/India in December 2012, under my guest editorship.
